Hi all,
I’m almost 3 years clear of 3C2 cervical cancer and apart from some minor side effects i’ve been well since my treatment. However, twice in the past week i’ve had vaginal bleeding after sex which i’ve never had before. This was actually the first symptom I ever had before I was first diagnosed so I’m panicking. I’ve put in a call to the hospital and I’m waiting for a nurse to call me back. But I was just hoping to find someone who had experienced this and it be nothing to worry about. Thank you!
Hi Joix21
I’m sorry to read you are having worrying bleeding. I haven’t experienced exactly the same, though I did have some unexpected bleeding at one point just after I had been for a routine check up, and you’ve done the best thing in putting in a call. I’m not sure if you will get the reassurance here that you’re looking for, but I hope you do.
I would expect that you would get called in for a check/internal examination and if necessary a scan if it’s felt that’s required. It would depend what it’s seen when you are examined.
Please let us know how you get on.
